✨ Adding Minutes and Hours
Alright class, let's dive into adding and subtracting time! We're going to work through several examples together to really get the hang of it. Remember, just like with regular addition and subtraction, we need to keep our units (hours, minutes, and seconds) organized.
✨ Adding Hours, Minutes and Seconds
First, we'll practice adding different durations. We'll go step by step, making sure to carry over when we reach 60 seconds or 60 minutes. Then, we will subtract time, in a very similar way to addition, but here we will "borrow" when the number we are subtracting is larger than the number we are subtracting from.
✨ Subtracting Minutes and Seconds
Let's start with some addition problems, like combining 6 hours 19 minutes with 4 hours 57 minutes. Then we'll move onto subtraction, such as taking 5 minutes 14 seconds away from 7 minutes 39 seconds. Any questions before we begin?
